Climate Informed Engineering: An Essential Pillar of Industry 4.0 Transformation

Climate Informed Engineering: An Essential Pillar of Industry 4.0 Transformation

Nima Shokri, Bjorn Stevens, Kaveh Madani, Jürgen Grabe, Michael Schlüter, and Irina Smirnova

In this paper, we introduce the concept of Climate Informed Engineering as an emerging interdisciplinary field integrating climatic considerations in engineering products and services. The concept behind CIE is to enable engineers to build infrastructure, devices, sensors or develop new materials and processes that are informed by climate and climate change information. We believe CIE will be an increasingly important dimension of engineering science resonating with engineers and scientists with different backgrounds.
